Patent CA-2254370-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HULICK TIMOTHY P
IPC: H04B1/62
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: Undesirable group delay distortion caused by radio frequency (RF) band pass filters (or other sources) that cannot practically be equalized even at conventional intermediate frequencies (IF) are pre-compensated at lower, secondary-IF  frequencies. The IF signal is translated to the lower, secondary IF frequency range that allows the group delay distortion to be equalized in piecewise frequency segments. One implementation provides for two consecutive frequency translations of a 41-47 MHz IF TV signal down to a secondary IF band of 4-10 MHz; two equalizers that operate in the 4-7 MHz range consecutively equalize the lower and upper halves of the 6 MHz broadband TV signal. More generally, the compensating scheme for compensating for group delay distortion that includes: consecutively translating plural frequency segments of a signal in a first frequency band to one or more target frequency segments, and equalizing, in the target frequency segments, the consecutively-translated frequency segments of the signal, so as to compensate for the group delay distortion that is inherent in the respective frequency segments of the signal in the first frequency band.

Title: Random number generator for electronic applications
Inventor: KAY TIMOTHY L
IPC: A63F1/00
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating random numbers for use in electronic applications is disclosed. A given sequence of random binary numbers of a certain length can be decoded into several random numbers for a specific application. The upper range values of the random numbers to be decoded determine the number of bits required for the generation of these random numbers. In the decoding process, the given random binary number divides a range value to generate a remainder and a quotient. The quotient becomes the new random binary number for the generation of other random numbers while the remainder is the generated random number. The proces then repeats to generate other random numbers. At the end of the generation process, the last quotient determines the validity of the generated random numbers.

Patent CA-2265257-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRUSE BRIDGET ANN
IPC: F16B1/00
Filed: 1999-03-15
Abstract: A method of fastener identification for traceability of manufacturing information of an individual fastener, is achieved by applying a code to the fastener. The fasteners to be identified typically are formed of hardened materials such as steel. A die cast, forged or pressed roll stamp or forge stamp is thus used to apply the code and is formed with a raised stencil of one or more characters or indicia. Multiple lots of a certain fastener typically are manufactured in a given time period, such as a year, thus requiring a different code to identify each fastener lot.      Numbers of lots and sizes of individual lots for a given time period are difficult to predict for a fastener producer, thus risking waste if multiple customized stamps are used to identify the lots. A universal stamp having a single indicia stencil is utilized to identify all lots of a certain fastener in a given time period, by removing selected ones of the stencil characters from the universal stamp for each different lot.

Inventor: STEELE RICHARD P
IPC: B09C1/00
Filed: 1999-04-12
Abstract: This invention relates to an in-situ treatment and remediation system for the in-situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. The system is capable of progressive penetration both vertically and horizontally in contaminated soil and groundwater using a ground penetrating lance for injecting water, chemical and biological inoculants and/or air/oxygen/gases into the contaminated soil and/or groundwater. The invention allows for the development of a treatment grid both as to the depth of treatment and as to spacing between holes in said contaminated soil. While driving the ground penetrating lance into the contaminated soil, one can stop said lance penetration at specific levels for a time period sufficient to treat the soil, and driving the ground penetrating lance into said contaminated soil to the next stop for treatment until the whole in-situ remediation site has been treated.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de panneaux de fibres et de produits similaires à base de bois, ceci à partir d'une matière brute lignocellulosique qui possède un contenu en humidité d'au moins 10 % en poids. Ce procédé consiste à séparer une fraction aqueuse des fibres de la matière brute, puis à recycler ultérieurement cette fraction dans le processus afin d'obtenir une partie au moins de l'agent servant à coller les fibres. Avant d'être mélangés aux fibres, les effluents aqueux sont concentrés puis oxydés à l'aide d'enzymes et en présence d'oxygène, ceci de manière à polymériser le matériau à base de bois solubilisé et à accroître sa concentration. Il est également possible d'ajouter de la lignine au matériau à base de bois solubilisé dans l'eau ou, encore, d'ajouter aux fibres ce matériau à base de bois solubilisé en même temps qu'un autre agent de liaison. Le mélange ainsi obtenu est finalement mis sous forme de panneaux puis solidifié.
